Francois Leclere

Francois Leclere was a Haitian Maroon. Leclere was enslaved in Africa and brought to the French colony of Saint-Domingue in 1735, but Adewale killed the slave trader Benjamin Charbonneau and freed Leclere and other slaves as they were about to be auctioned off. Leclere proceeded to join the Maroons in the countryside.
